A website that lists the victims of Righthaven LLC 'shakedown' lawsuits that are causing irreparable harm to bloggers and advocacy websites.

Righthaven LLC -- a bottom feeding legal outfit -- has teamed up with the Las Vegas Review-Journal and Denver Post to sue mom and pop websites, advocacy and public interest groups and forum board operators for copyright infringement. The strategy of Righthaven is to sue thousands of these website owners, who are primarily unfunded and will be forced to settle out of court.

To date Righthaven has been ordered to pay $323,138 in legal fees and sanctions.

It's a well researched piece, packed with hot links as well. This is a great piece to share with persons new to Righthaven's copyright lawsuits. The newsletter is freely downloadable at the JDSupra website.

Simultaneously, the Intellectual Property Brief newsletter published an article, "Why Comprehensive Copyright Education is Necessary in United States K-12 Education Curriculum." In addition to being scary, the article unwittingly highlights the horrendous complexity of current U.S. copyright law.
